What’s up with all the strange requests from parents? New Jersey definitely needs more odd children with strange talents, I stand behind that and support it wholeheartedly. Only problem with this is that we may be setting up our kids to be the brunt of many jokes during their endless time in the school system. I know all about it…I was one of these kids. A bug geek in my brother’s hand-me-downs. Yup.
- Hello, My daughter wants to learn to play the dulcimer. If you have a dulcimer that you can part with, you would make her very happy. In addition, any dulcimer related material we would be interested in also.
- Hand held, stalk style metal detector wanted for beach combing with my 2 young sons to look for pirate treasure! Many thanks mateys. AARGH….K in Keyport.
- Need a gun rack. My son collects swords and I knew this was a long shot, but figured I’d try anyway. Thanks.
And let’s not forget this well-meaning dad, who I’ve featured in the past.
Hi everybody, well its summer again and this year 5 of my 8 kids want to learn to ride unicycles….
I know what your thinking, who rides unicycles?!
If anyone has one or 5 laying around drop me a line, thanks

For those of you new to our Freak Circus, there are many posts which leave us wanting more, we want to know the back story. Here are the newest additions.
- Im ISO an Alcohol Anonymous Book Im in need of it badly and i would sure be appreciated it
- Offer-51″ GigaBall- It’s a big yellow inflatable ball that you can get inside a roll around in. Needs to be used on a flat lawn and not near water. I’d recommend adult supervision when it’s in use. Looks like it would be lots of fun even without letting people get inside.
Was given to my son as a gag – he’s 18 and over 6 ft, so he’s never used it. New, still in the box. - Wanted- baby gate for doorway-needed ASAP-Can pickup same day – my toddler has become the escape artist and figured we’d try “gating” him first. Thanks in advance!!
- This is a doggie seatbelt for a large sized dog (I have a 75 lb Doberman). It’s a harness type with a leash clip that connects into your seatbelt. It’s used but it’s in perfect condition. I have 2 seatbelts and only one dog so Happy Freecycling!
I couldn’t let my neighbor flush his fish when he moved, so we’ve adopted it and stuck it in a pot until we can provide some proper housing.
If anybody has a small tank and/or equipment that’s not in use, it would do this fish a world of good! - Offer- Simple Solution Dog disposable diapers-This was a pack of 12, I took out one and realized there was no way my dog was going to keep this on. So the pack is still new, but is missing one.

Actually what I’m thinking is who has eight kids? I have two and I’m going insane.
One or five laying around? Unless you’re a circus troupe it’s highly unlikely you have five unicycles laying around. Well, we actually do have one in the shed but we’re not giving it up.
But seriously, I absolutely love this post and I totally want to hang out with these people. This dad is awesome for getting his kids into unicycles and I really hope he finds some for them.
